Witt and his Private Panic, 40 Balanced


  • Philippines scramble and kamikaze?


  • one on each carrier please. No scramble.


  • I am going to take another look at this Leo. I forgot the kamikazes, as I am wont to do. There probably is no need to move the carriers in until non-combat.


  • Agreed. Take your time.

  • @wittmann:

    Correct. That’s why I did not. But nor was I setting myself up to do so thinking it was worth just the 2 ipcs. Perhaps I wouldn’t have got there sooner anyway. :-)


  • This game is still pretty even Leo - but I think I can see my doom approaching! :-(


  • I need Egypt or England and cannot lose France or Italy. The Pacific is only for pride now.
